  • I think maybe you might get bored with things and that’s normal and ok, but you want to stick with good habits right so here is a fix. Take the weightlifting, you want to do it to be in shape, right? Well, there are many ways to get in shape you might also like. For me for example I go through phases of being interested in one thing or another, like weightlifting, cycling, swimming, archery, sailing.

    I used to feel guilty about not being consistent with one enough, but then realized screw it, just do what I’m in the mood for and don’t be hard on myself - but to do something. So, I have a selection to choose from depending on mood and motivation. Motivation is at the lowest? Just go for a walk.

    Same can be for studying: I can read, watch courses, or do hands-on work depending on mood, etc.




  • Everyone says it’s a great idea, but I’d say these counterpoints:

    • If you’re going for any type of “business manager, sales or leadership” role, failing at a startup isn’t a winning look. Yes, I know it’s normal to fail at startups and later succeed, I’ve done it, it’s true, but it’s still selling a loss rather than selling a win.

    • You better be well-prepared to completely describe that failed startup and why it didn’t work out.Ideally you can describe well the lessons learned from it, and how they could have been overcome with better luck, circumstances and another chance

    • It’s just lying and not great, I’d rather polish whatever the truth is than making something up.
